    I'd really have to see it before determining which will be my definitive RotF Starscream. If Leader 'screamer is totally awesome like Leader Optimus, then I'll just get him, and maybe wait and see if there's a premium of the voyager in his movie 1 colors. If not, I'll just get the voyager.

    Hmmm... Sounds like a plan to me. I'm a total scale whore, so if it looks as good as the rotf prime figure, I'm all in.

    I wouldn't mind a Movie Leader Starscream. The mold is interesting, but I think the triangular body shape of his is rather weird.. Nevertheless, if the Leader Class SS can have really complex transformation that is much more movie accurate, I really wouldn't mind buying him. :D

    This.

    I wouldn't mind if the Leader version used the same transformation as the Voyager, but with the extra space Hasbro might reduce the kibble. To make an extreme example, MP Megatron has essentially the same transformation as G1 Megatron. MP Megatron's bigger size allows a more functional robot mode.

    I won't expect something that drastic, of course, but I hope I made sense...

    Agreed. I don't own any Movie Starscream figure, but it looks like the first movie and the ROTF Starscreams have some kibbles.. I only saw images of them and Peaugh's reviews.

    And yes, if Hasbro really made Starscream look like an actual plane (F22), then that would be super awesome! :D

    Make him on-par with the ROTF Leader Optimus Prime, and I'll be one happy camper.

    Not pathetic, Starscream is a far cooler/more important character in terms of the movie-verse anyway.

    in any universe, not to mention, Starscream's not only still alive in THIS movie, but still a front-row character, while BC is friggin' rusting away.

    Hey all,I have to disagree,I think Screamer doesn't need a leader size figure,cuz even tho
    he is a major character I feel he just don't need to be the same size as Megs or Prime,
    plus I am sure in the movie Screamer and Jetfire will be in a scene together,and when has
    he ever been the same height as Jetfire,not in G1 or any other.So I hope and pray they
    don't do him in that size,there are way more characters who deserve that spot,like others
    say like Blackout,or the Fallen,or any other (but not Brawl again,he done got his leader
    fame already). Thanks.

    in the movie, SS dwarfs Prime. Not only that, but I think you need to take a gander at the sizes (and mass) of both a SR-71 Blackbird and the F-22.

    Meh ! Imo, Leader class gimmicks = FAIL.

    I'd rather get a Premium paint voyager Starscream with 180 degrees swivel hands and removable gatling guns.

    The engineering on the default voyager SS is already super imo.

    The electronics would severly compromise that engineering.

    i really doubt we will get a leader class starscream figure. no line has ever had more than 3 Original mold leader class (any line that has had more than 3 were repaints)
